DDO F2P (Free to Play) Leveling Guide

For the fastest, most efficient leveling in DDO, a paying subscription is needed. But it is fully possible to level to level 20 on doing F2P content. You are going to have to be smart though, because you will probably run out of quests and content at some point. Leveling a TR (True reincarnation) Character on a F2P account to level 20 will be even harder, if not even impossible. You will also at some point have to run some dungeons with big XP penalties and leveling will get slow. This guide will show you what quests are available to you F2P, you should do all of them on each difficulty at least once. Not only for Xp but for favor.

Favor and Turbine Points

By doing dungeons you gain favor that you can get Turbine Points from. Turbine Points are used in the DDO store. Turbine Points can be spent on adventure packs which will unlock more content that you can use to level.

The chart below shows how many turbine points you earn when gaining favor. These can be done once on each server.

Every character you have will also be given 25 Turbine Points for every 100 favor they earn.

With the around 100 F2P quests in game you can earn thousands of Turbine Points this way, that you can in turn use for Adventure Packs. When you get more Adventure Packs you can in turn gain more favor and turbine points.

Buying atleast a couple of Adventure Packs is vital to leveling to level 20.

Gianthold, The Vale and Reavers Refuge are good Packs to start with.

Wilderness Farming

Should you run out of quests to do. You have the option to go to various wildernesses and grinding there for XP. The XP isn’t optimal and leveling might be slow, but it will do in a pinch.

List of F2P Quests

This is a list of available F2P Quests. As you can see, there are quite a few in the lower levels, but it narrows down quite a bit as you go. These might not all be soloable, so getting a group is more vital to a F2P player than someone with a subscription.
